Log in to the Linux software updates page, the same place where you downloaded your copy of Realsoft3D from, and scroll down to the bottom of the page. The second to last item tells you how to subscribe to the linux-list. Re your installation problem: there's nothing that immediately springs to mind but I found, at least when I started with V4 Linux, that I had to be in the same directory as the archive/installation file before running it i.e. if the path to the archive is foo/bar/realsoft3d-5.1~ I had to cd foo/bar/ sh realsoft3d-5.1~ instead of just doing sh foo/bar/realsoft3d-5.1~ I don't know if this was just down to my distro, of even if it's still the case, but might be worth a try. Secondly, can you confirm that you can create files and folders in /usr/local ? If you tried to install as root this shouldn't be a problem but it's worth confirming in any case. Was a realsoft3d directory actually created in /usr/local/ and if so, is there anything in it? I don't use SELinux here (Security Enhanced Linux - not a distro in itself but a set of security features that any distro can use) so I'm not sure if this might cause installation problems - someone else might know though.
